Overwatch free to play from the 22nd to the 25th September.

Got this game about 3 weeks ago and think it's great! Definitely worth a try!

It was fun playing a variety of roles. Need docs on how to play better (or faster reflexes) :disappointed:

I noticed price went up everywhere so where is the best place to buy a cheap boxed copy of that game ?

I would assume that regular players hate these free weekends because you get an influx of noobs and idiots turning up. Or is the game level/skill matched so that regulars won't see the noobs?

You won't match with the level 1s on the free trial.

Fantastic game, my lad loves it. Heat added.
Can't stand it myself, dunno why.

Is it any good for playing on your own? I don't mean like single player, I mean like do I need to be in a party with mates to get the most out of it?

This game quickly gets boring. The best multiplayer game on PC right now is Dawn of War 3 after the latest patch.

I felt the same initially but after sticking with it you realise there is quite alot of strategy to the game. Also, I like using all of the characters. :smile:

22 Sep 17 #32

Have you tried closing/re-opening the Blizzard app? That is what I did and it changed from buy to try for free.

Yeap thanks. Did that and it worked. Downloaded now.

It is certainly a very polished game, now back to Insurgency and one shot one kill.

Over the weekend the PC standard version is £19.99, this is the best price that you'll get this game for and it's not very often on promotion.

Try the free version, then buy it here: eu.battle.net/sho…tch

The Game of the Year Edition doesn't really offer much benefit for £10 extra.

Its a decent game. However there are far too many immature trolls playing it - spamming insults and general nonsense in the chat. And good luck working as a team, too many players don't or want to work together - they just pick an easy attacking class and run off by themselves, just wanting a high score.

Thanks, will give it a go. Seems like a good game. I'm a Battlefield player and other games haven't grabbed me like that has. I'm curious if this will. Sounds like a contender!

I don't like shooters much.

I really enjoy Overwatch.

It really is the game for people who don't gel with the insta-headshot reflex world of COD and the like. Yeah, I quite like a bit of those characters every now and again, but in my session this morning I played two different kinds of healers, two different tanks, a builder / turret and a DPS - and enjoyed playing all of them. The sheer variety, easy to learn mechanics and balance makes it ideal for casuals and short bursts - but I've heard the meta-game isn't quite as strong.

Had it for almost a year now, one of the best games I've ever played

Unlike Destiny, COD, Battlefield etc. every single update is free and they frequently balance the game's mechanics every 3-4 weeks so you never feel cheated by players doing annoying stuff.

It launched at about the same time as Battlefield 1. B1 has had 1 paid DLC update since then.

Overwatched has introduced 4 new character types, close to 15 new maps, over 5 new game modes and had close to 10 seasonal events which have exclusive play modes and one off unlockables.

Plus it cost me £25 then and it's the same price or less now

2 actually but yeah, it's a poor show...

It's probably my ailing reaction times but I still prefer Battlefield to these 12-men-in-a-box games.
I got Titanfall 2 but regardless of the result, the default game modes become tedious very quickly.
I do like the co-op PvE mode though - perhaps I should bend over to pick up Activision's Destiny 2 soap :stuck_out_tongue:

Heat for the heads up - it was a previous F2P weekend that helped me decide that this game wasn't for me :smile:
